I believe his loyalty was always to Barcelona, so in reality you could say he is extremely loyal.

Had I been born and raised in Barcelona, big fan of the club, biggest dream to play for it... even if I become a star with another team I would still try as hard as I could to go to Barcelona. Fabregas gave his best the time he was at Arsenal, he got his dream chance and he took it. To not follow your dream (and more money) just for some subjective view of loyalty is ridiculous. Credit to Fabregas for not being Nasri about it.

well he has won three trophies at barca, he won two at arsenal, so yes

As of right now all points to Guardiola leaning to leave, but it's far from a sure thing. Everyone seems to agree that the decisions will come tomorrow. He might yet add a Copa del Rey to that list of trophies too.

I hope he stays, he is the perfect manager for Barcelona right now. Even if he stays I'm pretty certain it'll be his last year though.

The club already has a style and strategy of play strongly in place, and won them 13 trophies to this point. It wasn't going to change much no matter who they hired as coach. Unless it is a big game, Barcelona is almost autopilot. It's why all the one-trick comments exist.

Tito has been there for all the Guardiola years, knows everything that goes on inside and out. I think it makes sense, he'll give this team a sense of continuity from Pep. If next year goes badly then I can see a new coach coming in to tinker with the system.
